TUready Training Series: Surviving an Active Assailant

Campus Safety Services

The Office of Emergency Management, in partnership with Temple University Campus Safety, is holding basic Active Assailant trainings for all Temple University students, staff, and faculty who may be interested in attending.

Active assailants are individuals who are actively engaged in harming people with a weapon, including a firearm, knife, vehicle or other device. As we have all seen, these incidents are becoming more common, and it is important to create a plan – and if possible, practice that plan – in the event you are confronted with just such a situation.

In this 1.5 hour training, we will cover:

1. How Temple Police are prepared to respond

2. What you can do to increase your chance of surviving such an incident.
